    I bought a cheaper option (2x 2x2GB modules) and they work fine for me too in XMP. It was more the CPU voltage that needed to be upp'd to enjoy the benefits. You just need to make sure to turn off enchance memory bandwith option in UEFI bios and you're good to go. Only reason why I get thread failures in prime is because the IMC needs to be colder to run them when the processor is at 100% load. That will be soon remedied with a h70 closed-loop water cooler from corsair.

        I figured it was time to resurrect this thread.

        After increasing my VCCIO voltages to 1.275V I believe, the RAm can now run at spec timings. However, for good measure, I increased the voltages on the RAM to 1.65V. I will leave the prime run on overnight to see how things roll. I would like to see if I can drop the voltages back to spec on the RAM. I tried 1.26V on the VCCIO and couldn't get the modules to run at spec.

        The reason why I'm saying the VCCIO is more crucial than the RAM voltage is because when I had the RAM volts at 1.7V before I was still getting thread failures on prime95. with the VCCIO at this amount (which I feel is a bit high/unsafe) I'm not sure if I can keep it at this. What do you think, Tradesman/GSKILL TECH? Or anyone else who'd know SB setups a bit better than I do.

          What you may be able to do is drop the VCCIO a little and raise the vCore and/or PLL just a little to balance out and keep the DRAM to spec

            vcore @ 1.4V, vore PLL @ 1.9V, vccio @ 1.25V and dram at 1.6V, and getting thread failures within 5 minutes. The DRAM voltage was probably the culprit. I was told that the 2600k needed about 1.35V to get an OC to 4.5Gz and about 1.38V to get to 4.8 Ghz. I do have to count the DRAM speeds as well. So, I raise the dram voltages back to 1.65 to see if there is success.

                given all I said above I managed to resolve my issue in going ddr3-2133! However, the price paid is too high. All diagnostic programs run A-OK given all modules installed are set to 1.775V in BIOS with the stock timings instead of 1.6V. I have only run memtest86+ for about 6 hours and now running prime95 for 30 minutes. the CPU voltage is 1.48V with LLC at 100% on the maximus 4 extreme motherboard. The CPU temps are <80C after 30 minute run and still going strong. Perhaps at this extreme voltage (I was advised that 1.8V is the absolute maximum with the ripjaws X modules) I could afford to tighten timings once things are confirmed stable. It's a damn shame the modules have to run at such a high voltage to get things stable.

                Just as I finished this post a worker thread stopped. Well, back to DDR3-1866! lol.

                  Hi again! I resurrected this thread after finding out either my CPU or motherboard is at fault for all the posts I've made describing my issues. For some odd reason either the kits won't play nice or the motherboard or CPU is at fault. Both kits i've purchased of f3-17000cl9d-4gbxl run fine on their own in the RED ram slots of the M4E (p67 version) but not in the grey slots, nor would they run at ddr3-2133 altogether. This is my conclusion to this issue I've had since spril of this year. I'm not sure if i'm going to try a f3-17000cl11d-16gbxl kit or not yet. I have an eerie feeling the motherboard is at fault and my only way of finding out would be to buy that kit and test it out in all 4 slots. I've run prime95 burn-in tests with only two of the four sticks purchased in the RED slots for over 12 hours with success. I'd like to thank Tradesman, G-SKILL TECH, and all the other users who've been a great help here!

                    Did you try looser timings like 9-11-10-28? It should work better and not require so much voltage.

                    Thank you

                      no need. I run one kit I purchased at stock 9-11-9-28-2T at 1.6V with no issues whatsoever. One kit however will NOT run at any timings (even as high as 11-11-11-30-2t @ 1.6V with no success either. So at least I found out that at least one of those two sticks of the other set aren't working. I know my posts seem inconsistent but my most recent ones are ^^. I've considered RMA'n them but with the cost of shipping two modules of memory I can consider getting a new kit for just a bit more money. Thank you for the suggestion but I know it's not a timing issue.

                        One final post to &quot;bury the hatchet&quot;

                        I did get these kits to work together perfectly on stock voltages and timings WITH both different kits together. Same model, but purchased two different kits. I had to drop the DRAM data ref voltage from the normal 0.500 to 0.495 on all channels. They now work perfectly with this setting. I've primed successfully for 13 hours having the g.skill kits at ddr3-2133. I actually have them at 9-10-9-28-2T @ 1.6V. This setting was advised to me by ASUS since I was running the memory freq. at extremely high settings. I'm happy I managed to get things to work.
